Ursid Meteor Shower Will Peak At Winter Solstice

This year’s Ursid Meteor shower will line up with the longest night of the year. The shower will peak the night of the winter solstice – Monday night into Tuesday morning – with 5-10 meteors visible per hour. However, it might be tough to spot in most areas, due to cloudy skies and a half-full moon obscuring the view. According to NASA, the best time to ‘tune in’ is from 12:30-1:30am Tuesday morning.
